Episode Synopsis

This week on the Virtual Coach Advantage podcast, Emma and Neela continue their discussion of Black Swan events. How do leaders make sure their teams and organisations can come survive these events – or even thrive in them?
While the compulsion might be to act as the 'hero leader' in times of crisis, Emma and Neela argue that this approach isn't productive. Instead, the focus needs to be on preventing burnout, checking in, collaborating and fostering psychological safety.
